We all know that if you live to be 80, the midpoint of your life is 40. But you've probably noticed that when you were a kid, a single day felt like a lifetime. Now that you're older, days fly by like a rocket. That's because our perception of time isn't linear. It's logarithmic. Assuming your first memories started age 4 and based on an average life expectancy of 81 years, under a logarithmic model of time perception, the true midpoint of your life is exactly 18.
